1. Harm/Pain experienced by my family that I can't prevent/alleviate. Helplessness.
2. Dependence/loss of control over my life
3. Doing something on impulse that will make me lose respect for myself
4. Not living up to potential
5. Losing my voice or the ability to respond to injustice. The stuff of recurring terrifying nightmares (yuck).

I've never been as scared as first time I had sleep paralyses with the evil creature in the room wanting to harm me, while I'm helpless. So I suspect it is of being hurt. Freedom, not realizing myself.

Death.
It's the ultimate deadline. I don't want to die before I finished my novel! And even before it's finished, I start a new one (or another project) that I want to get finished before I die.
Now I'm young and I can imagine death far away, but I know that I won't have run out of ideas I want to realize before I get old.
"To a well-ordered mind, death is but the next great adventure" - applies to me, except that my mind is all of a clutter and I don't want to enter the next adventure, I want to live and continue this one!

Slapstick humor. Watching people repeat the same mistakes over and over. I always get this idea of endless repetition of stupidity which is scary and not amusing at all. The problem with this is that some people don't understand that I'm really afraid and want me to loosen up. It's understandable to be afraid of snakes or spiders, but of this? It's for laughs! It's not real! No it isn't... to me, it's scary.
